Blog Co-ordinator for Book Links and Write Links.

In 2020, I will be the Blog Co-ordinator for two cutting edge kidlit organizations, Book Links and Write Links. My job is to ensure the children’s writing community knows about valuable events and opportunities for writers, illustrators, teachers and librarians.

I’m requesting writers who plan to attend events. Please message me, so you can snap photos and write a short blog about your experience. Your blog will be accredited to you, and shared widely, promoting your profile.

Romancing the Stars 12 March

Jenny Stubbs, President of Book Links Qld Inc. invited me to be part of Romancing the Stars, Brisbane’s premier children’s literature event. I’m honored to be included with so many authors and illustrators I admire.

On Thursday evening 12 March discover books our local authors and illustrators created for children and young adults. Each creator will give a short introduction to their latest publication in a small intimate circle. Then they rotate to the next group. You have an opportunity to get inside information from the book creators. And make contact with potential presenters for your school or library.
